Eight hundred and ninetieth chapters agree to Liu Jiande's request
Emperor Xin, who had not left Hucheng at that time, did not know that the old emperor took the initiative to block all the schemes from the officials in the capital for him.
After the expedition, he temporarily cut off contact with the spies in the capital. Now Zhao Quanyou, who is in Yanque Pass, is in charge of this matter. Only for particularly important matters, Zhao Quanyou will pass the news to the emperor.
Come here Xin.
But it is obvious that spies who can only operate in the capital as ordinary people do not have the opportunity to know the rumors circulating among the civil and military officials in the capital.
Therefore, Emperor Xin did not know the true attitude of the officials in the capital towards his personal expedition.
But when I think about the expedition, these are not important.
In fact, unless the old emperor suddenly comes to heaven, or the battle for the throne reaches the most critical moment, everything that happens in the capital is not that important to the current Emperor Xin.
He just rested in Hu City step by step, and then set off to meet Liu Jiande, the commander of Jiande City, in Fenghua Valley.
The second day when the two armies met.
After dawn.
After Liu Jiande had breakfast, he came to Di Xin.
After Wei San's report, he entered the commander's tent, raised his hands to Emperor Xin and said, "I have met Your Highness in this humble position."
"Master Liu, there is no need to be polite."
Di Xin put down the chopsticks in his hand and said with a smile: "Are you still used to having a rest last night?"
"Your Highness is joking."
Liu Jiande twitched his lips and explained: "The general died in battle and returned with his body wrapped in horse leather. Now he is just camping outside. Although it is not as comfortable as resting in the palace in the city, his humble position is not that delicate."
Di Xin showed a look of embarrassment.
He just thought that Liu Jiande lived in Jiande City all year round and would rarely have the opportunity to go out to camp, so he asked casually, but he didn't expect to be noticed.
It is indeed inappropriate to say that a military general cannot bear the life of camping in the wild.
But what kind of person is Di Xin? He quickly concealed his embarrassment and pretended that he didn't say anything just now.
He changed the subject and asked: "Master Liu, why are you here at this king's account at such an early hour?"
Now, Liu Jiande began to hesitate.
He thought about it all night last night, and finally couldn't bear it after dawn, so he planned to come directly to ask His Highness King Yu what he meant.
Seeing Liu Jiande's performance, Di Xin guessed what he was going to say.
Before Liu Jiande could speak, he took the initiative and said: "Master Liu, if this king's prediction is true, you came here so early and want to ask me if I can agree to accompany you on the expedition?"
Liu Jiande was taken aback and subconsciously asked, "Sir Ouyang, will you inform His Highness of your humble request?"
Di Xin nodded slightly and said, "After you left last night, he told the king your request as promised."
When Liu Jiande heard this, he felt a sense of gratitude in his heart.
He actually considered that after the two armies merged, he did not have the opportunity to meet His Royal Highness Prince Yu in person, so he got rid of the matter of Ouyang Xuan's first meeting.
But he didn't expect that the two of them would actually meet on the first day they met.
Liu Jiande originally thought that after Ouyang Xuan found out that he could meet His Royal Highness Prince Yu in person, he would not waste any more effort, but would return the right to make this request to him, so that he could express his request in person.
But Ouyang Xuan was very honest and still made his request immediately.
To be honest, Liu Jiande himself didn't know how to speak properly, otherwise he wouldn't have hesitated for so long.
He was determined to bear all the consequences of his decision, but he was struggling with whether to involve His Royal Highness Prince Yu.
After all, if His Highness King Yu agrees to his request, it will give other officials an opportunity to impeach King Yu.
No matter how big this trouble is for His Royal Highness Prince Yu, it is brought to him by him after all, so he hesitates to make this obviously excessive request.
Now that Ouyang Xuan has spoken for him, he can breathe a sigh of relief.
After regaining his composure, Liu Jiande put aside his hesitation, took a deep breath, and asked nervously: "Your Highness, I am humble enough to be brave, and I beg you to agree to accompany the army on the expedition."
After he finished speaking, he knelt down on one knee.
"Master Liu, please get up quickly."
Emperor Xin stood up and took the initiative to help Liu Jiande up and said: "This is the legacy of the late commander of the old capital. As a son of a human being, Mr. Liu's filial piety is moved by heaven and earth. I am also a son of a man, so how can I refuse Mr. Liu."
Liu Jiande thought Di Xin was talking about being the son of the old emperor, but he didn't know that the parents he mentioned were the real parents far away on Blue Star.
Neither of them explained this wonderful misunderstanding.
Liu Jiande did not expect His Royal Highness Prince Yu to agree to his request so readily, and a lot of prepared rhetoric was instantly useless.
After being stunned for a moment, he still asked in disbelief: "Your Highness, do you agree?"
Di Xin smiled and said: "Don't worry, Mr. Liu, you heard it right."
After confirming the authenticity, Liu Jiande did not appear so excited, but asked with some worry: "Your Highness, do you know that after you agreed to the request of a humble position, you may..."
Di Xin waved his hand and interrupted Liu Jiande's words.
He said in a nonchalant tone: "I understand what Mr. Liu means. Isn't it possible that someone might read a copy of it in the court?"
"In order for Mr. Liu to fulfill his father's will with his own hands, it is just an impeachment. I can still afford this price."
He did not say that he would protect the affected Liu Jiande, but Liu Jiande had no resentment at all.
This decision was made by him personally, and His Highness Prince Yu was already taking a risk by agreeing to his request. It would be overreaching to trouble His Highness again.
On the contrary, Liu Jiande was filled with gratitude to His Highness King Yu because of his generosity.
"If you don't want to say anything, I have something to say first."
At this moment, Di Xin said something embarrassing: "If Mr. Liu can't do it, it would be better to go back home."
Liu Jiande's heart tightened slightly: "Your Highness, please speak."
Di Xin said: "The only barbarians adjacent to the eastern border are Goguryeo and Uighur barbarians, so Mr. Liu can only participate in the crusade against Goguryeo and Uighur tribes."
"When the crusade between the two clans is completed, Mr. Liu will no longer be able to accompany the army on the expedition."
"I wonder if Mr. Liu can do it?"
Liu Jiande breathed a sigh of relief.
He said solemnly: "In my father's legacy, the people I want to conquer are the Goguryeo and Uighur barbarians. I am satisfied with my humble position by participating in the crusade against them. I dare not ask for too much more."
